THE RM8,305 licence fee and tax imposed on entertainment outlets for 2021 should be reviewed as the live music industry has yet to return to normalcy, says Selangor MCA state liaison committee chairman Datuk Ng Chok Sin.

Entertainment outlet owners are frustrated that they are being asked to fork out such a hefty sum to renew their licence with Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) when they are still not allowed to operate.
